I wouldn't mind if *I* was being operated on in a video.
I'd wait until I was famous, then launch my own series
of videos. "Me brushing my teeth", "Me picking my nose".
Bit like launching a PD version of a programme first.
Whet their appetites then reel 'em in. Not forgetting
the merchandising opportunities. After an endarterectomy
I could sell slivers of my fatty aterial walls for
1000s of pounds. Who says I've taken the new 'business'
approach to general practice too seriously?
